@Brian Crecente: Having just hit my 26th year, it's quite grounding to see specialized skills that were at least a little remarkable when I was a pre-teen be rendered virtually obsolete, though I'd still give my right leg just to see what tech will be 200 years from now.

@Acunia: Seriously? How does that work, some sort of weird cap or something?

@shedao: That's a bit like asking "What's so special about being young?"

Just got a new one a few months ago for Starcraft. Man building PCs is a lot easier than when I was younger. Love my new rig though.

One trick pony seems a bit reductive, like saying Microsoft is a one trick pony because it does computer stuff.

Looks like this game spins a compelling yarn so hopefully all this consumer interest doesn't unravel.

@Brodka: regrettably: Now get out there and sell it.

Hmmm, I'm sorry you didn't dig it, but I can get on board with most of your points even though I liked it.

@SanjiX: Indeed it is, and you can unlock a whole bunch of bonus videos of him in the game.

@Lizard_King: Whoa whoa whoa, are you saying you need more than one data point to prove something?

@PoweredByHentai: Damn, you beat me to it. Sorry for the double post, not trying to steal your thunder.

Ugh... Porcelain.

@usedtowork: Pedometry!!!
